The focus will be on speaking and listening. Some reading and writing will also be included. Pronunciation and Hispanic culture are an integral part of the course. The course will be conducted mainly in the foreign language. Learners will work through different activities individually, in pairs and in small groups, using a variety of learning methods and resources (ex role-play and games). Homework set will provide an opportunity for self-study to reinforce learning.
Initial assessment will be carried out at the beginning of the course to assess individual skill level. You will record your starting point on your Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and set targets. You will revisit regularly during the course to monitor and record your progress. Tutors will feedback orally on homework.

The course book will be discussed at the first session if appropriate. Students will need to bring a pen and paper and an A4 ring binder for handouts, although we advise students not to buy anything until after the first session.

There is a short “Intermediate Plus - Summer School” to follow-up and reinforce learning. Please enrol at least one week in advance to ensure the viability of your course. After this, the appropriate follow-on course is another Intermediate Plus course (as reaching a full intermediate Plus level requires 2 years or more) or an Advance course if you have the level. The tutor will be able to advise or check on our website www.kentadulteducation.co.uk.

For anyone who has the knowledge of the tenses and basic structure of the language and needs fluency and conversation practice.

Students need to have completed a Spanish Intermediate course or have studied the language for approximately 300 hours or completed French GCSE (A/C grades) and can speak confidently in predictable everyday situations.
If you are unsure, please carry out our self-assessment test available on www.kentadulteducation.co.uk or in our Centres. The assessment provides a score to help you chose the best course for you. If still unsure, please speak to us or to a Curriculum Leader.
